Do we need to consider implementing this as part of the young child's development at the Foundation Phase of football? How would that work with County FA's and League structures already in place? Have people seen receptivity from these organisations?

To give you an insight into our local grassroots league in Grimsby (Crofts YFL) working in partnership with GTFC Sport Education Trust, last winter they paused their U7 and U8 fixtures outdoors for 6 weeks, and took them indoors to play Futsal. All the U7 and U8 teams had at least 5 weeks of futsal, one 40 minute game a week against other sides from their league. Games were non competitive, all games had two officials and followed the laws of the game (futsal). Kids and coaches loved the experience. A fantastic, authentic futsal experience.
